Before dawn, Shi Kang woke up from his sleep.

Looking at the night outside, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He slowly suppressed the sleepiness in his mind and stood up to put on his clothes.

Although he no longer has a watch, his biological clock has told him that it is not long before dawn.

Shi Kang did not rush to freshen up, but practiced the Thunder Breathing Technique first.

"smoothly."

Along with the subconscious breathing, the thunder breathing method was perfectly presented, and wisps of exhaust gas were expelled through his nose, and finally he breathed out deeply the last remaining bit of life in his chest and abdomen.

Taking another deep breath, Shi Kang opened his eyes.

It was perfect, there was no more mistakes in the Thunder Breathing Technique, and it was completely integrated into his body's instincts.

"I hope I will have the opportunity to break the platform in the future and reach the level of Master Qi."

Thinking of Master Qi's breath sounding like thunder, Shi Kang still had expectations in his heart.

After several thunderous breathing exercises, it became brighter outside the window, and an apprentice knocked on the door and asked him to come out.

"The owner wants you to go to the pharmacy."

The apprentice from the martial arts school then handed over a packet of shortbread cookies and said, "Go after you finish eating."

"Thanks."

Shi Kang thanked him, took the shortbread, and watched him turn and leave.

"To the pharmacy?"

While eating the shortbread, Shi Kang rushed towards the pharmacy. Shi Kang felt a little strange in his heart. Shouldn't he be studying the animal show today? Why should he go to the pharmacy?

After eating the shortbread in a few mouthfuls, he quickly came to the door of the pharmacy. Before knocking on the door, he smelled the familiar smell of medicine: "Is this the muscle-stretching cartilage soup?"

He was very familiar with this medicine, because most of the medicinal materials delivered every once in a while were used to prepare such medicinal baths.

Many people who come to martial arts gyms to practice martial arts have not started martial arts training since childhood, and their bodies are stiff and their muscles and bones are tight.

They need to stretch their muscles and bones for a long time before they can start martial arts practice.

However, if you use Shanjin Cartilage Decoction, you can borrow the power of the medicine to temporarily stretch the muscles and bones and soften the body, allowing you to perform difficult practices.

To put it simply, it is the same as allowing a strong Tibetan man to directly perform difficult yoga.

"Shi Kang? Come in."

Master Qi, who was in the room, seemed to know his arrival and shouted directly.

"Yes." Shi Kang opened the door and walked into the pharmacy. He immediately saw six or seven large bathtubs placed on the brazier, making a gurgling sound.

The strong smell of medicine hit the nose, mixed with the screams of some apprentices who were soaking in it, and a hell-like scene suddenly appeared.

At this time, Master Qi was sitting next to an unoccupied bathtub, adding bags of medicinal materials into it.

"Okay, take off your clothes and go in and soak."

Master Qi gestured to Shi Kang, "Stay there for an hour and come see me again."

"yes."

Shi Kang nodded, feeling very excited in his heart.

Originally, he thought he would directly start practicing the Hundred Beasts Opera, but he didn't know that Master Qi actually considered this and gave him a medicinal bath to soak him even if it was only for one day.

A dose of Shanjin Cartilage Decoction costs 4 taels of silver, which is a big expense for him, and he needs to soak it once a day, which costs about 10 taels a month. With his wealth, even half a month is enough.

Can't bear it.

Entering the bathtub, Shi Kang felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, watching the bubbles bubble up, but the temperature was not very high.

Suddenly, the two panels, one behind the other, closed together, sealing the tub, leaving only his head outside.

Seeing Master Qi turn and leave, Shi Kang was a little surprised, but then he looked at the other apprentices in the bathtubs around him who were also like himself, and he could only keep his doubts in his heart.

"It's so comfortable." Shi Kang, who was soaking in the medicinal bath, didn't feel anything else, except that it was quite comfortable to soak in the hot water, which made him feel a little drowsy.

He had not had a good rest last night and was still a little sleepy. He closed his eyes involuntarily and fell into sleep.

itch

So itchy!

Suddenly, Shi Kang woke up from his sleep, and the numb and itchy feeling swept through his body like a stormy sea.

"Well……"

He frowned and groaned in pain, and his bones gradually began to feel sore.

"This is...Tenjin Cartilage Soup..."

Shi Kang felt as if he was being tortured. The soreness, numbness, and itching continued to increase, and his muscles became severely swollen. There was no good part of his body.

The sleepiness in his mind had long been driven away, and he had to resist this pain with all his strength before he could barely suppress his inner cry.

"ah!"

"So sad!"

"No, I don't want to soak anymore!"

Although Shi Kang held back, the other apprentices around him couldn't hold on and shouted one after another.

They have experienced many medicinal baths, and their tolerance has improved a lot, but they still can't bear the pain and yell for relief.

Those who really couldn't hold on, with the help of other teachers around them, opened the closed panels one after another, struggled to jump out, put on their clothes and sat aside to rest and recover.

"How are you?"

A martial arts teacher next to him saw that he looked wrong and asked.

Shi Kang was speechless. It was already difficult for him to resist the pain. His lips had been bitten. Once he spoke, he would probably have to shout, so he could only reply with a nasal voice.

"Well enough……"

The time has only passed halfway, how could you leave like this!

After this idea emerged in his mind, Shi Kang was buried in severe pain again, and he roared with a ferocious expression.

Although he also wanted to leave the tub like the other apprentices around him, the stubbornness in his heart held him back.

The wish is fulfilled according to his ability, and all the suffering he has suffered will be rewarded in the future in the form of wishing.

For the sake of the future, he must endure it.

You must hold back!

Under the extreme pain, Shi Kang's breath trembled slightly, and his breath began to subconsciously follow the thunderous breathing method.

Breathe in!

Exhale!

Breathe in!

Exhale!

A large amount of air was inhaled by him, circulated in his body, and then exhaled gently.

Every breath seemed to bring strength, and his chest and abdomen actually vibrated slightly.

The slight vibration of the internal organs spread throughout the whole body, dissipating a small part of the pain caused by the medicinal bath.

This made Shi Kang barely feel better.

This made him unconsciously start to perform Thunder Breathing Technique.

Time after time, the vibrations in my heart became more and more intense.

The vibration was transmitted outside the body, causing ripples in the potion, which violently collided in the barrel, making a splashing sound.

At the same time, slight thunderous sounds also bloomed on his tongue.

It was just this weak sound that was masked by the wails of the apprentices around him.
Chapter completed!
